Newbs will never know what the Leaf Blower was, but it was unofficially Nvidia’s major stinker of a GPU: the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra. The card was unique not just for disappointing performance against its contemporaries, it was also loud in 3D mode. Several staff members ran the FX 5800 Ultra as a way proof that they weren’t just goofing off all the time. That’s because firing up 3D on the Ultra spun the fan to high RPM levels and immediately everyone within 15 feet know that you were playing a game instead of working.
